job opportunity

Feline Geriatrics. A field you may want to consider, if you are looking for a new profession.

According to the vet, cats are living longer and longer all of the time, due to the fabulous formulations of modern cat food. And caring owners.

But as they age, they need biannual check-ups. To catch hypertension, and hyperthyroidism, and other geriatric illnesses, early on.

Mr. Claude? He is 18 years old. (86 or so in human years). And the vet tells me he doesn't look a day over 10. I guess the thousands of dollars we have invested in him lately are worth it.And he is still an able office assistant, so he is clearly earning his keep. If only I could teach him how to do taxes.

what's with the blog name?

No, I do not think what I have to say is cute. The name of my blog is an homage to my Scandianvian ancestry, and the many years I spent shopping with my mom and sister. That saying would inevitably pop out of one of our mouths. Completely unbidden.

And on top of that, no one had taken the name yet. Do you know how hard it is to come up with a blog name?

A quote to ponder:

About Me

I manage the 'home office' (which really IS our home) for our business-ACES Flight Simulation-located at the Mall of America. We've been around for 16 years-five of them at the country's largest shopping center. Mike and I have been married for an amazing 23 years, and share our St. Paul home with our delightful 13 year old son Charlie and a twenty year old cat named Claude. I love music and books, and I spend my time cooking, gardening, knitting, beading, sewing, and playing with paper. My fondest wish? More hours in a day!
